Phoenix & Dragon Splits With Drummer Jair Wing

Arizona symphonic metal outfit Phoenix & Dragon has issued the following announcement about parting ways with the band's drummer:

"After 8 wonderful years, Phoenix & Dragon will SADLY be parting ways with our original drummer and most importantly long time best friend and brother, Jair Wing.

"Jair was a fundamental part (not to mention the musical backbone) in the development of this band since he first joined us back in 2006. We cannot express in words how enormously sad we are to see him go and wish him the ABSOLUTE BEST in his future projects! Phoenix & Dragon will never be quite the same without him.

"Phoenix & Dragon will be having a commemorative show in Honor of Jair’s Final P&D performance on Sunday, April 27th at the 'Red Owl' in Tempe, Arizona. We would love to see as many fans, friends and family members there as possible as we say farewell to the first era of Phoenix & Dragon.

"Tickets and more show details will be available next week. Please come out to support and say goodbye to a great friend! We love you, brother"
